Notes:

Service and product export values are sourced from the Brookings Institution using 3-digit and 4-digit

NAICS and U.S. BEA Services Category Industry / Commodity Classification codes.

The product export data in this report does not contain service export values.

All export destinations are product export information that is sourced from Global Trade Atlas data which

comes from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s “Origin of Movement” set of state exports. The Origin

of Movement of a product is not always the same as its place of production, since products from one

state can be consolidated for export in another state. For more information on the State Data Series,

please visit the U.S. Census Bureau - Foreign Trade Statistics.
